Happy Anniversary Alina!

Chapter 1

The Beginning

On one lucky night in 2019, Alina decided to say hi to Adam at the Pike annex. We talked for a while, then decided to go on a date. Alina invited Milena to the first one, but soon we were going on a few dates of our own.

Summer at Cornell

We had the best summer after we came back to campus after being away because of COVID. There were hikes, wine tours, and boat rides on the finger lakes.

Our Second Halloween

This year we went pumpkin picking, Alina had a cute fall-themed skirt, and we dressed up twice with maybe our best costumes still.

Our Last Summer in Ithaca

Adam graduated in 2021, so it was our last summer together in Ithaca. We made the most of it but were sad to be going long distance, but were too in love to not make it work.

Chapter 7

Panama

This is still one of the best trips we've taken. On the last day of the trip, we got lucky and were put in a huge suite in our hotel for a night.

Adam in DC

Alina's First Hawaii Trip

Right before this trip, we had won $700 in Vegas on the slot machine. We would end up needing it because Adam got COVID and we had to stay in a hotel instead of his grandma's place.

Chapter 10

The Rest of 2022

We saw each other just about every month, even though Adam was in DC and Alina was in school still. It made it even more special knowing we weren't always together.

Chapter 12

Costa Rica

We continued our tradition of visiting Central America in the summer. This time we visited Costa Rica. It was beautiful, but Panama will always have a special place in our hearts.

Chapter 13

The Rest of 2023

Alina had graduated, and so she was able to move to NY. Adam soon followed, and we were once again living in the same city. Thank god! It had been too long, but also short knowing we were going to be together for much longer.
